Dell South Africa, the world`s number one computer systems company, today introduced the Dell | EMC CX400, a new network storage system that offers customers advanced business continuance capabilities, including high availability and data protection features, in a midrange product optimised for storage consolidation and business-critical applications.
The Dell | EMC CX400 is an ideal platform for multimedia and video streaming, Microsoft Exchange clustering, medium-sized Oracle and SQL databases, and customer support systems in both storage area network (SAN) and direct-attach storage environments. The system supports 2-gigabit1 Fibre Channel technology, data transfer rates of 680MB per second, and up to 4.4 terabytes of data.
To support business continuance strategies, the Dell | EMC CX400 offers redundant hardware and software features including hot spare disk drives, multi-path failover, data snapshots and cloning, and local or remote data mirroring.
